This paper concerns the linear response of the ocean to forcing at a specified frequency and
wave number in the absence of mean currents. It discusses the details of the forcing …

During 1975, westward-moving long waves with a period of about 25 days and a
wavelength of 1000 kilometers were observed at a sea surface temperature front in the …

A stability analysis of a realistic meridional profile of the surface currents in the equatorial
Atlantic and Pacific oceans reveals that the most unstable waves are westward propagating …

The kinematics of planetary waves originating from instability of the nearsurface equatorial
currents are reported on using velocity measurements from an array of acoustic Doppler …

The circulation of the western Indian Ocean is examined using a reduced‐gravity model with
one active layer and realistic basin geometry for the entire Indian Ocean north of 30° S. The …

To understand the characteristics of sea surface height signatures of tropical instability
waves (TIWs), a linearized model of the central Pacific Ocean was developed in which the …

Detailed bathymetric surveying, including use of a deeply-towed transponder-navigated
instrument package, shows that the deepest passages into the Panama Basin are along the …

Because of the narrow region over which it has high speeds, the Equatorial Undercurrent
has little effect on long waves with large phase speeds, such as long Kelvin and equatorially …
